I remember half way thru my proton therapy I could barely walk. I probably spent hundreds of on line researching my condition. I found that 80% of the time what my doctor told me was wrong and twenty year old thinking. Her mind of thinking was that if your PSA is .01 that is great. Eighty percent of people aft Lupron therapy have the same issues. The doctor never even looked at my testosterone levels I went out and got my own test and it was 153. Right now my PSA is .1 it briefly went up to .2 when I started replacement therapy but returned to .1.
I take 1 mg IM every two weeks and feel fine.
I also recently went on the Carnivore Diet and feel better than I have in 20 years.
I fired my Urologist and fount a new one who is more familiar with current thinking.

Your situation may be may be much different than mine

I’m beginning to think half- half! of my treatments came from whatever pharmaceutical or radiation company paid my doctor. He definitely seems to be money focused. He is the highest rated in my area and I am still alive after 15 years. So that is good. And he follows what I read here and elsewhere, but never is there anything but more treatment… ughs.. I applaud you finding a better path for yourself.
I agree with your approach.
